Some information you provide is necessary in order for us to process your transaction. The information you provide us is not shared with third parties for any reason other than to process your order.

If we ask for personal information for any other reasons, for example for marketing, we will either expressly ask you for your consent or give you an opportunity to say no.

If you agree to allow us to use your information for marketing purposes and later change your mind, you can simply opt out.

Promotions and Contests:

On occasion, we may announce a "refer-a-friend" promotion on our website or our social networking site. When we do this, we ask you to provide us a friend's email address.

We only disclose your information when it is required by law, or when we believe you have violated our Terms of Service and disclosure is required pursuant to the legal process. We do not trade, rent or sell your information to any third parties.

Depending on your chosen method for shipping your items and to fulfill your orders, and for a credit card processing company to bill you for the items you have ordered, we provide the necessary information to the shipping companies in order for you to receive the items you purchased.

We verify the validity of your credit card information by using a fraud verification service. The fraud verification companies do not store or share any personal information for any purpose other than the verification of the validity of your charge card.
